Mounting the ODU
The ODU can be mounted on a pole or a wall. In both installations, the supplied mounting kit
is used to secure the ODU.
A WinLink 1000 link operates in pairs of two ODUs with the same configuration. Both ODUs
must be installed, and the antennas aligned for maximum throughput.
 To mount the ODU on a pole or a wall:
1. Ensure that the ODU is properly grounded.
2. Mount the ODU onto the pole or wall. Ensure that the unit is oriented so that the
cable connectors are at the bottom. (If they are on top, water may penetrate
into the unit causing damage.) It is possible to mount an ODU horizontally. See
Chapter 17 for details.
3. Refer also to Chapter 17 for detailed ODU mounting kit contents and schematics.
Mounting external antennas
If you are using ODU with an integrated antenna, skip to Mounting the Lightning Protec-
tion Devices below.
The supplied mounting kit is used to mount the antenna onto a pole. The antennas must be
aligned for maximum throughput.
Note
A mast-sited ODU typically uses a pole attached to the mast.
Warning
Prior to connecting cables to the ODU, the protective earth terminal (screw)
of the ODU must be connected to an external protective ground conductor
or to a grounded pole.
• Only a qualified person using the proper safety equipment should
climb the antenna mast
• Only qualified professional personnel should install or dismantle
ODUs and masts
Note
• Do not tighten the ODU to its mounting brackets until the alignment
process of the antenna is complete.
• Ensure that there are no direct obstructions in front of the ODU or
interference from man-made obstacles.
Warning
Do not stand in front of a live antenna.
